When they came near to each other, David fitted one of the five stones to his sling.
He whirled the sling swiftly about his head. The stone flew straight to its mark. It struck the Philistine full in the forehead. The huge giant took one step and, with a groan, fell to the earth.
Then David, standing upon the giant, took his sword and cut off the head of his enemy.
When the Philistines saw that their giant was dead, they were filled with fear.
They left their camp and tried to run away, but the army of Israel followed them and won a great victory.
For this brave deed David was made a captain and was held in honor by the king.
